Everyone will be replaced

[Chad32]

Machines should only replace Humans in jobs that have a high mortality rate. I'm not sure why they'd make a machine for directing traffic.

Yea I mean it's not like a traffic director could be hit by a car or anything...

Sorry, Losty, but that's one reason why I don't have kids, or why I go into another room when speaking to a machine.

I do it a lot as the receptionist here, and it's hardly quiet as there are three other employees working in a sales capacity right next to me - thus, always on the phone.

I understand people's frustrations a lot of the time, but I also think we have to meet certain circumstances half-way.

I didn't mean to imply that it's a perfectly safe job, but is it really that life threatening?

Have you seen the way people drive? Or how hot it gets on the road (at least here in the South)? Why NOT use a machine to reduce fatalities just because it's not as high risk as bomb squad? You probably have more potential to be hit by a car because of access than you do getting torn up by a bomb.

Or in the case of my (ex) pharmacy, where screw ups can kill innocent people.

When I was a kid, it seemed people didn't yell at doctors, lawyers, nurses, pharmacists, and I think it was because they weren't perceived as fuck ups. Since my negative experiences with the Shopko Pharmacy, I've had to question my upbringing in that regard. The twerp I had to talk to earlier this week is certainly aware of my unhappiness. I noted had they simply done their jobs I wouldn't have attempted to switch to Prime Therapeutics only to then discover they were more incompetent than you people at Shopko. I think the kid was a tad stunned I was that blunt about it.

Before I looked into Prime, I went to WalMart, and realized some of the problem people let go from Shopko were working there. Made that decision easy, didn't even give them the chance to fuck up. Prime came highly recommended, and as a mail order service, the 90 day supply at a time looked like a big time saver for me instead of what seems like the weekly trip to the local pharmacy. Surprisingly, their mission statement, as near as I can infer, says nothing about actually getting a pill to a prescribee.

It just makes me wonder what things will be like when most tasks are done by a machine.

I hope the flag man found something else to do.

Romney reclassified him as a "taker."

What was he taking, a job?

[Minimalist]

People who lose jobs become "takers" in Mitt the Shit's mind.

[KUSA]

I didn't like that mother fucker anyway. He looked like an uppity preacher.

[thesummerqueen]

Meaning he "takes" from the government, KUSA.
